Volkswagen is heading to SEMA’s annual Las Vegas show this year with a trio of customs cars, each showing off the company’s new EA888 turbo-4. Volkswagen’s SEMA display will be anchored by the 425-hp FMS Jetta GLI Racer’s Dream, the FMS Helios Special Edition Jetta Tribute, and a slammed H&R Suspension 2015 Volkswagen Golf.

The most-exciting Volkswagen at the 2013 SEMA show might be FMS Automotive’s Jetta GLI Racer’s Dream. Using the Jetta GLI’s 210-hp 2.0-liter turbocharged I-4 as the jumping-off point, the FMS team fit the EA888 engine with APR’s Stage 3+ Turbo Kit, rods, wristpins, pistons, cold air intake, and intercooler. The result is a 425-hp Jetta GLI that still runs on 93 octane pump gas. After hotting-up the engine, FMS left the Jetta GLI Racer’s Dream with Brembo brakes and a full H&R coil-over suspension system. The Racer’s Dream is then given a custom body kit, using the Jetta Hybrid’s grille and Golf R’s front fascia to make this Jetta look unique. The Jetta GLI is then finished-off with a white-and-black paintjob, and a matching interior scheme featuring Recaro seats.

Also built by FMS Automotive, the Helios Special Edition Jetta Tribute is much more conservatively tuned. Powered by VW’s new 170-hp 1.8-liter turbo-4, this custom Jetta is designed to pay tribute to the 1989 Helios Special Edition Jetta GLI. Though only lightly-modified mechanically with a custom exhaust, the Helios Special Edition Jetta’s visually modified to match the original. Visual changes include a custom body kit with Helios black and blue paint. Inside, the Jetta is outfitted with a blue, black, and gray interior, and Recaro buckets.

Though Volkswagen has provided no images of H&R’s 2015 Golf, it’s lowered 1.5 inches in front and 1.75 inches in back, fitted with Brembo brakes, Rotiform wheels, and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The 2015 Volkswagen Golf is also wearing a new VW Accessories body kit, and custom exhaust kit.
We’ll have more from the SEMA show floor this week.
